Yesterday, Nassau Cruise Port (NCP) celebrated the inaugural call of Sea Cloud Spirit, the largest and newest ship in the Sea Cloud Cruises fleet, to the delight of the port community and cruise passengers. NCP executives joined Deputy Prime Minister, I. Chester Cooper, and members of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism team in a traditional plaque exchange ceremony with senior officials from Sea Cloud Cruises.

A traditional sailing yacht, Sea Cloud Spirit is currently sailing roundtrip from Nassau on an “immersive Bahamas experience.” From March 4-12, the luxurious three-mast full-rigged ship will call on other Bahamian ports including the Exumas and Eleuthera.

Mike Maura, Jr., Regional Director of Global Ports Holding (Americas) and CEO of Nassau Cruise Port Ltd. shared his team’s excitement about serving as the starting point for this bespoke adventure. “We are delighted to join the Ministry of Tourism in welcoming Sea Cloud Spirit to Nassau and in celebrating the launch of this exclusive Bahamian itinerary which will certainly charm its guests. We look forward to many more visits from this exceptionally crafted vessel and others from the Sea Cloud Cruises fleet.”

During his official remarks, Deputy Prime Minister Cooper emphasized the significance of the introduction of the Sea Cloud Cruises guest to a unique Bahamian sailing experience. “This visit not only symbolizes the strength of the cruise industry but also the enduring allure of The Bahamas as a destination of choice for travelers from around the world. Our spirits are high on your inaugural voyage.”
